We will never fully understand urinal gaming as a thing, nor do we really want to. Indian designer Mani decided that what men of the world need while they relieve themselves is a cute animation that shows them becoming less bloated as their urine splashes over 118 pin sensors inside the bowl. According to Design Boom, the figure in the animation (known as 'poe') was based on "themes that emerged after qualitative ethnographic research around perceptions of peeing." When the "gamer" is done, poe thanks him for what is pretty much a digital golden shower. Some ideas should just not be pursued.
